Security to iphone app

I wanted to add security to iphone app to know one can jailbreak into it. Any solutions??

If it's not in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

My iPhone app store is not working becuae of my security code

My iPhone app store is not working becuae of my security code

Are you trying to articulate "I forgot my passcode"? If so:

If that doesn't answer your question, please be more specific about your problem.

My contacts and whats app messages are shown on my sister's iphone! How can I secure my iphone and have a high level of security and privacy! Her Contacts are shown in my iphone as well!!

I have and iphone 6 with iOS 8.1. My contacts and whats app messages are shown on my sister's iphone! She have iPhone 6 and and iOS as well. How can I secure my iphone and have a high level of security and privacy! Her Contacts are shown in my iphone as well! Setting in mac and iphone are a bit presice and sensitive. Is there any way to solve my issue and increase the safety, security and privacy in my iPhone and its data?

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

Secure password DB app sync-able for 2 iPhones?

Can anyone recommend a good secure password and personal info DB that is sync-able between two (husband and wife) OSX macbooks and two (husband and wife) iPhones?
If all that is not possible then, one laptop and two iPhones would be work ...
(Splash ID is only sync-able between one computer and one iPhone.... not even between one iPhone and 2 computers)
Recommendations for any other killer iPhone apps would also be appreciated...
db

Easy answer first: Dropbox is a 3rd party service which gives you a free 2GB in 'the cloud', and (most importantly) automatically syncs with a folder on your Mac. It's like MobileMe's iDisk, but no cost.
However, you don't absolutely need it. I use it fro when I'm on the road.
You can use the Time capsule. The way it works is:
1. You set 1Password to store its database on the TC.
2. 1Password on the Macs uses that DB directly.
3. You sync the iPhones with 1Password on the Mac (once it's set up, you just start 1P on the Mac, then start it on the iPhone, and it syncs over wifi (and only wifi)

"Apple ID cannot be used for MobileMe" when setting up Find My iPhone app

Okay, folks, spent some time with MobileMe support via chat this morning. This is what I've learned. Apparently you CANNOT use an Apple ID, regardless of what format it's in (usually a full email address) AS LONG AS IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH A MOBILE ME (ME.COM ADDRESS) ACCOUNT THAT IS CLOSED OR NO LONGER ACTIVE. Unfortunately, there is no way to disassociate the two and there is no way the old MobileMe (me.com address) account can be deleted.
Apparently, I had some issue when I was trying out the MobileMe for the trial period many months ago and for some reason couldn't use my primary Apple ID (my primary email address), so I created a me.com address for the MobileMe account. Eventually, I cancelled the MobileMe account because the cost wasn't justified for the features it offered. Unfortunately, that association with my primary Apple ID is permanent and THAT is the source of the "This Apple ID canot be used for MobileMe" error. Or at least that's ONE reason for it.
The solution? Create a completely new, separate Apple ID using a valid email address from which you can receive a verification email. The address is NOT used to receive any further emails from Apple. Only to create logon credentials. Do NOT associate this email address with your current/primary Apple ID or any other Apple ID. This is what you use to set up Find My iPhone/iPad, etc. using the MobileMe setup in Settings>Mail/Contacts/Calendars as well as the Find My iPhone App (plus it's your logon to the MobileMe Find My iPhone web page).
When you log in to the MobileMe page, BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ENTER YOUR APPLE ID IF IT'S A FULL EMAIL ADDRESS: apparently, the ID field automatically tries to change it to "[email protected]" instead of your "[email protected]". Just check it before and after you enter your Apple ID password and submit.
I did this and it works. Find My iPhone app and service works beautifully. Spotted my iPad right where I'm at on a map. I sent a message to my iPad via the service (which also offers the option to play a sound, lock the device or even wipe the device).
I hope this information helps SOMEONE.
Oh...interesting footnote: I was informed that APPLE IDs CANNOT BE DELETED. Even if you create a "test" Apple ID (like I did during our troubleshooting session) with some barely used email account using a weak password. That means, regardless of whether you use it or not for MobileMe/Find My iPhone, you really, really need to give it a SECURE password (if you're going to keep that email account alive). So yeah, there are a lot of dormant Apple IDs floating around out there!

I agree.
I found this 'bug' out the other day when getting ready for my new iPhone I was setting up my iPad with some new apps too and wanted to work with Find My iPhone.
Here's the deal; my main AppleID is just a simple 'Username' not a '[email protected]' AppleID.
I've had this since the need for AppleIDs were used for these forums and the iTunes Store, AppStore, etc.
So it works fine and well with that stuff but not with find my iphone on my iPad as it wants a full email account, either a '@me.com' or a '[email protected]' AppleID which I did create but I think it was used as Job profile or something other along those lines (NOT used for a MobileMe account or .mac either).
And I only have access to one email now and I dont feel comfortable having multiple email addresses that I dont check or have no use for, call my simple or naive but thats just how it goes.
What I'd like to do is be able to use either AppleID for my Find My iPhone app and everything else.
And I think thats a good point, '@me.com's for all. make it a whole lot easier in my opinion.
merge all the apple accounts you created into a MobileMe, simplifies the situation and makes it easier connect to all Apple Services.
My itunes account, apple.com store account, appstore account, main AppleID for the past couple years it "Maxwell Stanley" but it does NOT work with Find My iPhone. So i created [email protected] (example.com is in place of my true email domain for privacy reasons) and that doesnt work as it statse it Cannot Be used.
My 'Maxwell Stanley" Apple ID's email associated with it was [email protected] i tried changing it to [email protected] but still doesnt recognize that as an AppleID even though its associated with "Maxwell Stanley".
I event ried to use the SAME email that is associated with my 2nd AppleID '[email protected]' with the appleid 'Maxwell Stanley' and no dice.
running out of options it seems.
Any idea on the best solution?
Thank you!

Stolen iPhone 4S...any way to track it? other than using the Find My Iphone app

Hi. So yesterday, my iPhone 4S got stolen while I was in PE class.
Immediately after I realized that it was gone, I called my dad and he cancelled the service for me (Verizon) so that the person who stole it would not be able to use it.
I've been checking my phone's status on the Find My iPhone app regularly, but it keeps saying that it's offline.
So I was wondering, are there any other apps, websites, ANYTHING that I can use to find out where my phone is or turn it on? (so i can track it..)
also, i didnt have iCloud on that phone.
(as in i didnt turn it on on the phone itself)
is there a way to get all my photos that i had on my old phone back?
for example, if i get a new iphone, would i still be able to transfer the photos that were on my stolen iphone onto my new phone? (without iCloud....just using the same apple id user and pass)
Thanks.
O and one more thing..I read on other sites that I shouldn't contact the police because they just file a report and put the case aside.
Do you recommend that I still report it to the police..just in case?

Just so you don't hold on to that sinking feeling for not taking out every possible precaution aside from just leaving your phone at home and not using it... after having your phone stolen or .. lost:
I paid the insurance to cover loss or damage for two year... (really dumb of me since the deductible is $200. USD: more than I can buy the exact phone online and more than I could have sold mine if I had sold it online; (iphone 4 -32g). So don't kick yourself for not having insurance if you didn't.
I had all apps turned on: PhotoStream (which would have had to be active on your phone in order to retrieve photos to your pc or your mac now that it is lost). However, it is only as good as the last internet connection you were on and only if your were on that connection long enough for the photos to upload to photo stream. I was able to cover photos from Beijing and not the remaining 3/4 of my trip's photos.
Any photo app you may have been using most likely has an online access. Did you download a photo app? Start there. Do you have an itunes account? You can see what apps you have downloaded from there. If you use a mac you can see the photos in photo stream, (a sunflower icon).
Even if you had registered and jumped through all the hoops keeping app and updates up to par and a security passcode in place on the phone itself, your i phone tracking is not going to work at all unless the user is able to connect to the internet. This is not going to happen unless they can access the internet by having your passcode. So this tracking system, insurance and protection code is in most all cases a false since of security. It doesn't help you 95% of the time... i am guessing.
The except is possible I know.   I found two iphones one time and saw the owners request to call them that was sent from the tracking system. I called and returned their phones.   The people who have my phone have most likely dismantled it and are using the parts to recreate replications.... i lost it in China, lol.   where I saw massive fake reproduction within buildings that consume 7-15 floors and about 8 city blocks. So, it isn't always about your information: in this case they wanted the hardware. Which brings up the next point.
In the iphone tracking portion of icloud.com there is an option to erase the phone. I am not sure if this makes it unusable for the new owner of default or if it just clears your crap so they can actually use the phone.   I've left my stuff on the phone thinking it is most likely already in pieces. (a kinda Frankenstein-ish feeling when I think about it).   If you erase you phone via the icloud it seems you are no longer able to track it. it cuts all of your ties and abilities to do anything... if you could do something. ... hmmm.
So, do not bother with phone carrier insurance on phones: better to make sure it is covered in a home renter's or owner's policy. You have to specifically ask this of your agent or it is not a part of your coverage. This will cost you less than the usual cell phone insurance, shouldn't be more than $5. per month. (i paid $10!! .... should be a class action going on somewhere around that in itself).   Phone carrier insurance is a scam from A to Z these days... don't fall for it like I did. Yes, it was once a useful tool. Just make sure your home owner/renters ins deductible is not the same value as the phone.
So, do not fret that you did not have this "service" activated. Do however, check to see if you can download Photo Stream to any computer and access your last uploaded pictures from the phone. This application was most likely on your phone. Although you would have had to tie it to an account on the phone in order to tap into photo in a cloud of sorts.
Hope this helps if nothing more but to ease the pain.

Is there any way to block the shutdown of the device is protected by password? This function would help in case of theft with the issue of the find my iphone app.

Device experiences issues, locks up.
I need to do a reset.
How would I do that with a pass code lock in place?
Wait until the battery dies?
Apple's changes in iOS 7 are smarter.
"Losing your iOS device feels lousy. Thankfully, Find My iPhone can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new security features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it. Which means your device is still your device. No matter where it is."

Populating data in iPhone app to iPad

Does anyone know how to populate the stored information I have on my iPhone apps to my iPad? I've synched all the apps, but on the iPad they are all empty... Not a single app transferred the info. Things like my book library with all the books I've read, my secure app that keeps all my private account info, my food shopping app with favorite foods for creating shopping lists, etc. Help!

If you mean synching with itunes so everything from my iphone appeared on my ipad - then I did that. All of the apps appeared... they are just empty. I'm trying to figure out how to 1) populate them with the information IN the app from my iphone, and 2) when I make updates from one to the other, then allow a synch to translate the data from one to the other.

Can process and icon of iPhone app be hidden?

Hi guys!
i was always worried about the security of iPhone 3GS since i stored most of my id/password on it. recently i had a little concern that maybe some apps i installed on my phone didnt have an icon and i couldnt see the process via sbsetting as well. so that means there're some apps on my phone that i can never get access to and i dont even know what they are doing.
and as a developer, im quite interested how can process and icon hidden be achieved by code. so my question is, am i thinking too much or process and icon hidden really exist in iPhone? if the answer is yes, how can i do this by code? any clues are welcome!
thx a lot!
cheers

For a non-development answer, if you have more apps than can be displayed in the limited number of pages allowed they will not be shown but are still available when you use search which is located to the left of the first page. You can also move apps to folders, allowing more apps to be visible on the pages.
Any other type of hiding of an app would be difficult as there would be no way easy way of launching it. Remember as well, that apps cannot run in the background except for limited functionality.

Have you tried getting the password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com ?
If you can't get your password reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
What you mean by 'buy and create a new id', it's free to create iTunes accounts. But until you've logged out of your existing account, you won't be able to log into a new account.

I left my iPad on a plane - find iPhone app says offline

I left my iPad on a plane powered completely down. When I use the find iPhone app (which had always worked in the past) it lists the iPad, my iPhone, and my iPod. When I first open the app on my phone, it says my iPhone is "this device" and has a green dot. It says my iPod touch is "locating..." then eventually goes to "offline" (because I have it off). For the missing iPad, it never says "locating..." it only says "offline" immediately when I open the app. I had just updated to iOS 7.0.2. I have the four digit code on the iPad but is it possible that someone wiped it clean already and that's why is says offline without even trying to "locate" it?
Any help would be very appreciated.
I already filed a claim with the airport and the airline - I am just debating if I should erase it or wait and see if someone responds to my "lost mode" message and calls my cell.

You don't sound stupid to me at all. Everybody has forgotten something of value or significance somewhere at some time or another. It is no fun at all when it is something of this value and your chances of getting it back are so slim.
I would really encourage you to use a passcode from the beginning with the next device though - it really is the only true security you have for your material on a mobile device. Anything you can do after the fact is never as good as having the device secured beforehand.
Also be sure to check with the airline in case you are lucky and it turns up in their lost and found (some airports and airlines actually have brick and mortar stores to sell all the stuff left behind and never claimed - there is a big one in Atlanta for example with everything from clothes to jewellery to golf clubs to cameras and laptops).
Also check your home owners or renters insurance policy to see if they cover such items while traveling (mine does, but the deductable is also $500 I think).

Steps to take for developing iPhone app

I have IMHO a brilliant idea for an iPhone app (I know, I know, and what else is new?:)
But seriously I want to pursue it. I'm am by no means a programmer of any sort. (However, I'm toying with the idea of studying programming). That said, to get this first baby off the ground I plan to hire a programmer to realize my concept for me. It involves audio, and I will be able to create all the audio content myself(I'm a music/audio professional). I can also create all or most of the necessary graphics/artwork myself (I'm a former graphics pro).
So, how do I start? What do I need to have in place to talk to a programmer? Should I create a dummy using still graphics and my audio content as a demo? I can even make a video demo of how it would work.
What are the best resources for finding a competent (and cool) programmer. Just doing a search yields so much information it's overwhelming. I'd rather work with a creative person as one on one as possible, and not ship it off to some impersonal place. What should I expect to pay?
Lastly, (as a total programmer beginner) is it nuts to think I could learn to program the app myself in a reasonable amount of time given that I have very specific and detailed ideas on how it would work?

If you honestly have to ask whether or not you could do it yourself then you probably can't. Get an NDA and write up a detailed specification of everything you want the application to do, how you want it to be done, and what it should generally look like. Some general UI mock ups are always a plus. Be prepared to be told that certain things cannot (or should not) be done.
Don't hire anyone from rentacoder.com. It is a veritable hotbed of international incompetence (and incoherence) and their service agreement's promises of security and arbitration will be broken in the event that a dispute should arise because there is not a single member of Exhedra Solutions' staff who even knows what a Mac looks like let alone how to test a deliverable on one. They will waste months of time promising you services they have no intention of providing and then ultimately tell you to pick a number between 1 and 10 to decide how much money you should be awarded. They're a joke of a company run by an aging frat boy cougar magnet whose experience begins and ends at Visual Basic and they bank on the fact that 99% of their clientele has no working knowledge of US law and can't sue them--especially not when they give the Florida Secretary of State the address of a vacant lot as their official registered agent for service of process.
Find a real person who lives in your country and speaks your language and contract with them directly. Expect to offer anything in the range of $50-$200/hr depending on the type of work involved and your geographic location. Don't bother with any promises of links on websites, equity shares, profit percentages or portfolio pieces in lieu of payment unless you're talking to some gullible high school kid. These things are all as worthless as they sound.

If I have enabled Lost Mode on an iPad via the Find My iPhone App what is able to be accessed on the iPad should someone steal it and try to use it?

I would like to know what is accessible on an iPad that has been stolen and Lost Mode has been enabled via the Find My iPhone App.

It is my understanding from these documents that if it is on and connected to the internet you can track it. In there it tells how tell if it is online by the color of the dot.
Read carefully, it is all in there
I still think this person is bluffing, but what confuses me is how this person knew how to contact you (?) You must not have had any security on it at all when lost.
Likely nothing (see #3)
If it were mine, I would erase it to make an expensive paperweight out of it and call it lessons learned - that is if at this point you still can, punch the button!
I can only go by what the Apple documents have told us, as your situation seems totally unique to any I have heard.

Accidentally erase my iMac from Find my iPhone App

I accidentally erase my iMac from Find my iPhone App.,
Is it able to recover by target disk mode?
What is erase method of this function? Normal erase or Secure erase?

I solved the problem by follow Matt's suggestion.
I can (almost) recovered all my files with deep scan option in the program Data Rescue.
But it is restructured form, jpeg pictures are moved in one folders then you have to manually arrange them again.
Anyway, better than nothing
In conclusion, if you accidentally erase your iMac with Find my iPhone app.
1. iMac harddisk will be format, not securely, you can recover them.
2. You need 2 computers, and one thunderbolt cable. (Firewire in the older model)
3. Using Target Disk Mode (press T while booting, after the signal) at the source computer.
4. Data Rescue (or other recovery software) need to installed in another computer
5. Use "Deep Scan" method, it will takes like 7 hrs to scan 1TB harddisk
6. The files that recovered will be unstructured, (the one that structured is not working)
7. You might need the larger capacity harddisk than the one you recovering. (in this case 1.5TB or 2TB)
8. It will takes another 4-6 hours in recovering files.
